Excerpt from O'donnel: A National TaleThe same womanly sympathies have governed my writings and directed my views for other countries, and I have never denounced a public wrong which has not come home to my own feelings, through the spectacle of private suffering. In this, the proprieties of the sex cannot fairly be considered as compromised, and if the first step towards observation be to feel, and the second only to think, the female temperament cannot be so adverse to the perception of the higher moral truths, as has been vulgarly and plausibly pretended. From the rack and the faggot of the middle ages, to the penal laws of Ireland and the carcere dwro of modern Austria.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
